741 Sans Pants.

You know, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, haven’t done a lot for me over the years. Apart from making me worry about stuff, but Japan is different. Even before I knew what Japan was it’s been making my life better. The Japanese are responsible, in some part, for almost everything I like most; from Transformers to Pokemon. The room I’m in right now is covered in Japanese stuff. The images of destruction there break my heart. It’s not a lot, but I’m going to give a week of advertising earnings to the Red Cross, or whatever charity seems to be the best. Maybe when I have it calculated I’ll post it so people can match it if they want. This is old news to those of you who follow me on DA & FA.

If you guys have any data concerning what the best charity to help Japan with is please let me know. It’s all very complex and annoying.

As for Japan, the combination of cataclysmic natural disasters, burning refineries, nuclear reactor meltdowns, the resulting post-urban wastelands, and names like “Chiba” and “Sendai” is giving the whole thing a weird Gibson/Shadowrun (and Gibson would be so pissed about me pairing him up with Shadowrun) vibe for me. Especially with Shadowrun’s Awakening scheduled for later this year.

Personally, I’m a fan of Samaritan’s Purse. They tend to be on the ground faster and spend a very high portion of their funds on actual work. They’ve been one of the primary groups working to combat the malaria epidemic in Haiti.

Am I the only one that thinks Brooksie looks like Captain Gloval from Robotech in panel 4? A very SHORT Captain Gloval… And I agree. Pants optional is good. Almost as good as going commando in loose gym shorts. ^_^
